Drax has partnered with Mina to offer two new payment electric vehicle (EV) products to its business customers.
The new payment products aim to help businesses, where its employees drive company EVs which they charge either at home or on the road, by automatically directing the expenses to the company.
When charging at home, Mina Homecharge pays driver’s charging costs direct to their energy supplier. For business drivers charging on the road, Mina Chargepass allows them to combine the costs in a single monthly invoice sent directly to their employer.
Business drivers will no longer have to pay to charge or claim any expenses, as all costs will be charged back to their employer each month.
Adam Hall, director of Energy Services at Drax, said: “We’re always looking for ways to improve our business customers’ experience and offer them access to the services they’ve told us they need.
“Mina Homecharge and Chargepass are excellent solutions that allow organisations to give their EV drivers flexibility when it comes to where they charge their vehicles.”
Chargepass offers access to more than 11,000 public EV chargers across the UK, with plans to grow it further over the coming months.
Ashley Tate, CEO and co-Founder, Mina said: "Working with credible partners such as Drax is really important to ensure we’re able to reach more businesses.
“Drax offers businesses an extensive range of services for the fleet and workplace charging markets and we’re delighted to be part of that product mix.”
He concluded: “One of the biggest challenges businesses face is how to pay for their drivers’ EV charging costs fairly and that can be a very complex area to navigate.
“By offering Mina, Drax can simplify the process for their business customers enabling companies to transition to electric vehicles with ease."
